I have been traveling this road for 30 years and out of nowhere this cluster of tiger lilies popped up this year. Apparently the moisture and growing conditions were just right.

I dug one to ID it... it is a gorgeous bloom and in reading the plant files, it could be this one ~ Lilium Lancifolium http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1025/ but I see in the gardeners notes, Rubygloomrox says they aren't scented.
These smell wonderful and even DH could smell them and commented on it.
So I wonder if they are this one... Orange tiger http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/160479/ as the description says flowers are fragrant.
